Abstract:In the rush to embrace cloud computing paradigms that promise quick, secure, cost effective access to ever-increasing volumes of electronically stored information, organizations across all industries are running into performance bottlenecks. WHIPTAIL has taken a cutting-edge and now proven approach to mitigating data I/O performance issues, often associated with traditional hard disk drive (HDD) storage arrays, where extremely low latency is critical for maintaining a positive user experience, for instance, in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments. First to the market with an all MLC flash enterprise-class storage array, piloted by its innovative RACERUNNER operating system, WHIPTAIL is poised to take on Big Data where it lives and provide IT executives with an affordable, high performance alternative to rotating HDD storage.
